About Terisa
Terisa Berger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and depression. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard feelings and begin to find clearer steps forward.
Her sessions focus on practical, doable changes. Terisa listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Then she helps set small goals and builds plans that fit real life. She frames progress in concrete steps rather than vague promises.
Terisa draws on several clinical approaches to guide her work. She uses client-centered listening to follow the person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and solution-focused strategies to identify immediate next steps. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change.
She has supported people coping with loss, major life transitions, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, and challenges such as guilt, shame, isolation, and jealousy. Her practice also includes work with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and issues affecting veterans and armed forces community members.
Terisa practices in California and conducts sessions in English. She encourages anyone considering therapy to take the initial step of noting what they most want to change, so sessions can focus on practical direction from the start.
